Q: I can't get the backchannel UART to connect. What's wrong?
A: Check the following:
- See Section 5.8.2 of the MSP Debuggers User's Guide for supported baud rates when using the eZ-FET.
- Do the baud-rate settings in the terminal application on the host PC and the eUSCI match?
- Are the appropriate jumpers in place on the isolation jumper block?
- Probe on RXD and send data from the host. If you don't see data, it might be a problem on the host side.
- Probe on TXD while sending data from the MSP. If you don't see data, it might be a configuration problem with the eUSCI module.
- Consider the use of the hardware flow control lines (especially for higher baud rates).
Q: The MSP G2 LaunchPad kit has a socket that allows me change the target device. Why doesn't this LaunchPad kit use one?
A: The target device on this LaunchPad kit does not come in the dual in-line package. Sockets for the available device package are too expensive for the target price of this LaunchPad kit.
